IMC Publisher  2007




= Introduction =

IMCPub is a Python library that publishes content on Indymedia
sites. It comes with a set of accompanying frontends for activists
to use in order to (hopefully) make it easier for them to help
the IMC project.

Each frontend has a specific set of features, and hopefully with
the help of the community the number (and quality) of frontends
will increase in time.

= Supported CMSs =

What follows is a list of CMSs that are known to be used by at 
least one IMC collective and for which we have at least some plans
of adding support :

* SF-Active
|- URL : http://sfactive.indymedia.org/
|- Used by : San Francisco
|- Status : this is the first one we're working on

* MIR
|- URL : 
|- Used by : Brasil
|- Status : currently not supported, no test sites publicly available

There is a more complete list here :

= Frontends =

- CLI -

The command-line interface is the simplest frontend available, 
and it was devised mostly to be used by l33t people and also
inside other scripts. 

- GTK GUI -
GTK frontend. 

- S60 -

The S60 frontend has been developed for use with Symbian Series 60
cellphones. Most of Nokia's smartphones use this platform, if you 
would like to check which devices are available check http://www.s60.com .
It *should* work on all 3rd edition devices, but it currently is being 
tested solely on a Nokia E65. 
When fully working, this frontend should be able to :
- publish news using any data transfer mode available (EDGE, GPRS, 3G, Wi-Fi)
- publish photos taken with the cell camera
- publish audios recorded directly on the cell
